The watch was purchased

　　new at Merksamer Jewelers in the early 1990s.  As recommended by Rolex, it has been brought into Rolex for regular routine servicing on a couple of occasions during the mid 1990s and early 2000s.  If you are new to Luxury watch world they are sort of like automobiles in that they require periodic preventive maintenance.  During this servicing, Rolex replaces the gaskets, lubricates the jewels, gears, polishes out any scratches, re brushes the wristband, etc.  The watch is fully functional but has not been worn regularly during the last 15 years with the exception of a few special occasions.  It comes with the original certificate, box and case.
